Right.
If "sealed" is the default behavior for public classes and methods — and I
don't think the modifier is worth adding unless it's the default — then we need
a way of "unsealing" classes and methods that's fairly pithy. I don't think a
parenthesized spelling is good enough for that. And we should try to make the
positive form ("can be overridden") shorter than the negative ("cannot be
overridden"), because the latter will not usually be written.
To me, the ideal spelling would be usable in place of "public". If it does
have to be stacked with "public", then I think it ought to be pretty short.
"communal"? :)
"open" doesn't carry quite the right meaning, and it would need to be paired
with "public", I think.
